St. Charles Unit District 303 middle school and high school students are set to return to in-person learning five days a week starting next month.

St. Charles Unit District 303 Superintendent Jason Pearson announced this week that graduation for the district s high schools will proceed as scheduled on May 24 at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.
